    Theoretically, yes, but it's a DC ground for lightning protection/static bleed-off and we all know that the behavior of AC at radio frequencies often does not conform to what one expects in a DC circuit. It might work just fine; on the other hand, it might not. IMHO, it's not worth risking the front end of a receiver.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
